Harman_5 Pilot	posted 04-28- 02:55 AM Hunter, try opening "sdemons.ini" and setting the values for ambient and infinite light in the text file instead of SDOE Control 2000. Sdemons.ini can be opened using Notepad and is located in the main SDOE folder. Remember to use night missions, you need one of the SDOE beta patches (build 65) so you can set the sky to dark color. After you install the beta (build 65, etc) you will have a seperate sdemons.ini file inside the patch directory, remember to make changes to this file and not the one in the main directory. That is, every beta version of SDOE installs (should be) to a different directory and therefore has its own sdemons.ini file, so to see the changes to the beta only, you must change the ini file in the patch directory you are playing. I hope this helps, ask me if you have any questions ------------------ Current projects: * Drivable ground object pack: 60% * Drivable ground object tutorial: 60% * Ju88A4 DM v6.3: 95% Visit FS:SDOE Online [This message has been edited by Harman_5 (edited 04-28-2001).] IP: Logged
Jerry Pilot	posted 04-28- 12:08 PM hunter, also remember that SDOE Control adjusts the sdemons.ini and keyboard.inp files in the standard install. So making Control changes will not effect any of the patches above 1.5 which have their own sdemons and keyboard files in a seperate folder. I have had the same "all black" problem myself when playing with the light settings. It's all trial and error, and you will find that different renderers (D3D, Glide, OpenGL) will sometimes need different light settings. Also, try using the Gamma/Color settings on your video card also....gives you more options. IP: Logged

Sorry for my english. there is a solution? IP: Logged
Harman_5 Pilot	posted 04-29- 07:12 AM The problems you are having with the patch like the voice too slow or the hangar appearing ghost like is not your problem I think. I have slow voice and sound effects with the new patch too, but I don't have the hangar problem you mentioned. These problems are related to the patch itself. If you are seeing a black cockpit and outside of plane, then I guess you may have set the light settings too low. Then again, it may be your graphics card, I'm not sure. Did you try opening "sdemons.ini" in your main SDOE folder and adjusting the light settings manually by typing them in? Try it and see what happens. Also, remember as Jerry said above, that each version of SDOE has its own sdemons.ini file in its folder, if yours doesn't have one, then copy and paste the sdemons.ini file from your standard SDOE (1.5) to the patch folder. SDOE Control 2000 will only adjust the light settings in the main SDOE directory, so you may not be seeing the effects of your changes in the patch version. Try this: Open SDOE Control 2000... Make the light settings how you like them... Close SDOE Control 2000, copy "sdemons.ini" from the main SDOE folder (not the patch folder) and paste it into the patch folder where the patch SDOE is. Try SDOE (the patch version of course) and see how it looks. If no changes happen, then open the "sdemons.ini" in the folder where the patch is and check the light settings. If they are not set correctly, then set them manually with Notepad. If it still doesn't work... If you still see black after increasing the light settings, then it must be your graphics card, check the drivers for your card. Or maybe the textures are corrupted. To refresh the textures in case their corrupted, just delete sdoe tex cache file in the main media folder. I hope this helps. ------------------ Current projects: * Drivable ground object pack: 60% * Drivable ground object tutorial: 60% * Ju88A4 DM v6.3: 95% Visit FS:SDOE Online [This message has been edited by Harman_5 (edited 04-29-2001).] IP: Logged
